Reached a modest, but nonetheless satisfying, milestone in my county listing: 2,000 total MD ticks.  The lucky bird was a singing Prairie Warbler in PG County at Governor Bridge Natural Area on Friday morning.  Overall, the Gov had a nice selection of breeding and migrating warblers as well as other passerines, and the mist on the ponds at sunrise was gorgeous.  # 2,001 was a lingering American Coot on the upper impoundment.

Maybe a male Western Tanager will bring me one tick closer to the next goal of 2,300??

Also had FOY Common Nighthawk over my house this afternoon, a new yard bird!  Was beginning to think these guys just didn't like my new 'hood.
